The thought of taking a powerdrill to mine, ghetto gaming mouse weight reduction style, has crossed my mind many times.

The point is that there's a difference in the environment.

Would you go "holy hell, you have a problem" when someone is high strung, and expect it to go down well in person?

Would you suggest to someone that they have a problem to the point of needing professional care, when they lose their cool for the first time in over a year? And that one outburst is your entire context?

There is literally nothing unusual about getting angry.

The only abnormal factor here is how people online react to someone when that happens, and dare to express it.

How is encouraging you to share how the behaviour of others affects you, an argument against pointing out bad behaviour?

What I said was, is that you don't get to tell others how their behaviour affects them, only how it affects you.

"That makes me feel bad" instead of "That can't be making you feel good". The first one you can know is true, on the second, you are always guessing.

I still shudder to imagine what the CV2 could have been. CV1 remains one of the best designed VR systems to this day.

The oled display, 90fps, fantastic audio, light HMD, ergonomic controllers... Its only real weakness was the constellation tracking, and with my three tracker setup even that became nearly a non-issue.

Replace the tracking with lighthouse, maybe upgrade the oled with one from today, put in the newer optics that reduce godrays to nearly nil... It would be unbeatable.

The Vive pro wands work with lighthouse 2.0. But they really aren't that much better to justify getting a pair.

However, apparently pimax has something that looks a LOT like the touch controllers.

These actually give me hope that they could be what I've been wanting.

Edit: Holy crap they use the same buttons as the wands, and can pair with the Index HMD!

Edit2: aw, they suck

Lighthouse tracking rocks, I'm never going back to constellation so in that regard it's an upgrade. Misses in Beat Saber due to tracking errors do not happen. And inside-out is just garbage for anything but the actual head-tracking. My dad has a Quest.

I sorely miss the low weight and ergonomics of the touch controllers. They were brilliant, and though it was more basic, their finger tracking could already do all that you'd want. I've not felt it worth the effort to replace the knuckles, unless I can match that.

Made a comment in reply to the other guy asking the same.

Heavy, the blacks aren't black, the audio was twice better on the CV1, but the framerate and tracking quality is unbeatable. Resolution and FOV bump is nice, too.

My hands are way too large for the Index Controllers, I desperately want something to replace them.

I need to do this to reach the system button, and I can't always just hold the controller further down due to how the strap works.

Most of the time I hold it with just my fingers so my thumb actually lands where the buttons are, but it's meant to be strapped to the palm of the hand. I've yet to figure out a way to hold them that makes the joystick comfortable to use, it's too far to the side from where you'd want to put your thumb.

Big huge bonus is that it works on Linux. I'm happy with the headset, oled would be nice, and audio was much better on the CV1. But it's not bad.

But I would kill for a lighthouse tracked version of the original oculus touch controllers.

My account still isn't migrated. Having sold my CV1 for an Index, and even having switched to Linux since, I don't think I'll bother.

But man... Really, really good times were had on that headset, Echo VR, Robo Recall, From Other Suns...

Look at it like this.

No one needed to take my edits seriously, or personally. I made them for me, for personal catharsis, to express something normally bottled up.

But a lot of people saw them and thought, "lol a lunatic, let's poke at it". I knew that would happen, but it wasn't the point, and I will never feel remorse for poking back when it did.

It's really not that complicated.

I would urge you to refrain from trying to diagnose people over social media. You don't have anything close to the full context of someone's entire life. What actual problems they are dealing with, what coping mechanisms they've put together, or how effective they are.

What if someone already has a therapist? What if you contradict that therapist? Yes, sometimes that's necessary, but you better be damn sure about it, then.

You could seriously interfere with someone's care by commenting on this stuff like this.

The only thing you can legitimately be an authority on is how my actions affected you. If you are looking to aid in someone's self-improvement, sharing that is far more effective than displaying concern for their health, or commenting on care they might already be receiving.

You cannot even begin to claim to know to how my actions affect me.

You're the one who wanted to fool around. You were already impotent... But fucking hell... You've got nothing left after you go flaccid.

0/5, would not screw around with you again.

Did you cum hard? :D

And you're boring me. You basically promised to entertain me, but this is kiddie shit.

I give you logic and you go "nuh-uh, ur totally mad" as if that doesn't make you the guy with a raging hate-boner furiously fapping at the misery you think you're causing.
